Title vignette

First sentence of Sweet Willy o' the green: "On Tay's sweet pleasant banks, Where so carelessly I stray'd, They call'd me bonny Bell, once the winsome laughing Maid, My time I spent in vain, I sang frae morn till c'en, When first I gain'd the charms O' sweet Willy o' the Green, Wi' his een sae bright, shines wi' delight, Nane dance or pipe like Willy, The Shepherd's art has won my heart, I sigh for bonny Willy, I sigh for bonny Willy."

First sentence of The Yorkshire concert: "Ize a Yorkshireman just come to town, And my coming to town was a gay day, For fortune has here set me down, Waiting gentleman to a fine lady."

First sentence of The Yorkshire Irishman: "My father was once a great marchant, As any in Ireland was found, But faith he could never have a shilling, Tho' tatoes he sold by the pound."

First sentence of The woodland maid: "The woodland maid, my beauty's queen!"
